Valleys, Plateaus, Peaks
Valleys, Plateaus, Peaks
After being swept away in memories of yesteryear,
the last thing I remember was,
fog clouding my vision
I struggled to see through the lens of an opaque scope
My soul was weighted with survivor's remorse
My free spirit was incarcerated and dying to roam
I wonder if that necklace
reached the bottom of the Genesee River?
She was supposed to be a notch on my belt,
but it was her smile that made my heart melt
At some point I heard a voice say
“don’t you ever darken my doorstep”
I would be disingenuous
Read the rest of the poem Show less
if I were to gloss over the pain I felt at that time
Clever as a fox and plotting to get over,
fast forward, karma bounced me off the rim
I found myself plummeting headlong
down the drain without a courtesy flush
After many years had passed,
I climbed from rock bottom to finally overcome
Mediocre efforts will yield meager results
I fear that I am running out of time
Inevitably, teardrops slide down closed caskets
After I unwound a coil of misery
within the fields of the midnight garden,
I witnessed the dawn of evolution
